I know there's a number of other smokeable herbs out there but I know fuck all about them. Anything you enjoy that's less common than kratom (don't smoke kratom it's fucking terrible that way) and marijuana?

    people recommending DMT or salvia are crazy. Those are psychedelics. I know there are some smokeable herbs but nothing that makes you feel the same as weed.

    I don't know if it's still easy to get your hands on, but have you tried salvia? The high's pretty short, so it's a very efficient way to experience ego death if you haven't yet.

      I've only tried it once and while the high was ok I ended up with a massive headache like 15 minutes later. That was like fifteen years ago though so maybe I should try again.

      Not familiar with blue lotus (other than Egyptian mythology) is it psychoactive or at least anti-anxiety and easily accessible.

        Should be anti anxiety. Are you set on smoking something? Not sure what the exact circumstances here are, but maybe I can point you to something else if you don't mind elaborating more here?

          Nah doesn't really have to be smokable but I do really like my natural stuff. I use kratom and weed regularly and I've taken kava a few times but that's about it as far as our herbs go (other than beetle nut and khat which are hard to get in the US.(and of course mushrooms and cacti which are a bit much for me to take frequently) Just wondering what else is it there that that's worth trying.

      That sounds like interesting but risky trip. My moon flower did just boom last week though so I might give it a try.

    Nothing is comparable to the effects of hemp.
    You either go lower with something like Prickly Lettuce which has an effect similar to a CBD weed, or go way higher with psichedelics like salvia or DMT, but I don't know if that's what you're looking for

      No shit?! I had no idea that plant could be used as anything other than the world's shittiest lettuce. I'll have to look in to it.

        Yeah, from where I'm from we call it "poor people's opium" since the plant secretes some kind of latex that you can smoke once it solidifies

        Oh and there are also some wild strains of ancient tobacco that are supposed to be somehow psichoactive, but there are not many informations about it other than some books I read a while ago

    A ton of drugs are vaporizable, it just depends on if they have be dissolved in propylene glycol/vegetable glycerine and what at what temperature they vaporize vrs burn.

    For example I'm pretty sure I remember some ketamine analogues being vapable. Dunno if it's worth it, or if being the guy whose vaping random drugs is a good look... Lol

    i mix mugwort and lavender in my dry herb vape sometimes. was a gift from an ex witch friend. it helps with lucid dreaming, i think it works.

      I used to make mugwort tea before bed and that made for really fun dreams

      Oh cool I'll definitely check that out. I'm already growing lavender and mugwort should grow well here too.

    how do you smoke kratom?

    the best thing to smoke is of course shisha

    If you want some dry ass herbs I tried and gave up on: mullen, skullcap, mugwort and sprinklings of mint. but some people claim to enjoy these.
